Does he think he's Rorschach from The Watchmen? He wants to be either an anti-hero or an edgelord, but doesn't realize people don't like him.

I think he probably has more in common with Ozymandias, at least in terms of ideology.

I just remember Rorschach as being more cryptic and potentially destructive. Elon needs everyone to think he's a badass.

Rorschach wasn’t operating on ego. He didn’t even necessarily have a super high opinion of himself. More so just a nihilistic view of everyone else. Maybe in his mind he’s Rorschach, but in reality he’s much more like Ozymandias.

Rich and powerful, operates large organization, hyper inflated ego, thinks fixing the world requires sacrifice and he gets to play god and decide who makes that sacrifice, was once revered as one of the worlds great minds but ultimately used that for some whacky evil plan, and if you count the show ultimately went full looney toons.
